Down and Dirty Related Content Tutorial
Someone in the Pods Q & A yesterday asked how to relate a post to pods content. There are a couple different ways to do this, but I posted one over on my poorly designed personal website. Any other ideas on how to do this? Any word on how we’ll do stuff like this in …
get_field($name, $orderby = null, $filter = null)
Anyone opposed to adding a $filter variable to get_field? Sort of functioning like how pick filter / pick orderby work in Column Options, except through Pod() and get_field().
Pods Gravity Forms Add-on
So many of our users enjoy the awesomeness that is Gravity Forms! It’s been in the works for a while now but I’ve finally got some traction on this. I’d like to take a moment and get everyone’s input on what they’d like to see this new Add-on do, how it would work, etc.

When you initially click the Advanced menu, you’ll be first brought to the Editor tab. These tabs will follow conventions …
[Pods 2.0 UI] Setup
I spent some time today speaking with @sc0ttkclark about the process of setting up Pods. We discussed the need for the UI to mirror WordPress as close as possible but also recognize that Pods will be doing things that aren’t available in the current WordPress UI (via widgets, interactions, form elements, or otherwise) — that …
Pods 2.0 Menu IA
Had a discussion with @jchristopher today – we both feel it’s a good idea to split up Pods admining from the management of content. As such, here is the proposed new Menu IA: Pods (located below Posts / Pages, in the ‘object’ menu section) – Manage Content – Add pod_name (one for each Pod) Pods …
Pods UI plugin = PodUI in Pods 2.0
I’m currently working on the codebase for Pods UI and integrating it with my latest Admin UI class. You can watch progress at http://code.google.com/p/wp-pods/source/browse/branches/2.0/classes/PodUI.php Right now, this is the first version of PodUI for Pods 2.0.
